This is a tragic story that ran in yesterday's New York Times. Sadly, it has become all too typical. Traumatic brain injury robs its victims of who they once were and for the family, is terrible to witness. We are very proud to be in partnership with Eisenhower Center. Since 1993, they have rehabilitated veterans of the military who have faced TBI. They are renowned for their work with the NFL, and its former players, with facilities at their home in Ann Arbor, and in Jacksonville, FL. The NFL states that almost 30% of players retired from the League suffer, or will suffer, conditions related to brain injury. Thank you, Eisenhower Center for the work you do.
